A week off so I....

I've a week off work (yipee), it's been ages since I brought out my bronze 1967 ESL 57's, first time this year in fact, and a first partnering with my purchased A&R A60 amp which I bought around five months ago. So having a lovely relaxed 'music' day to myself. Thought I'd shoot a few photo's and upload and share etc, (Canon 5D/1 - Samyang 35mm lens).

Such nice things to be able to bring out occasionally too! I'm quietly thinking you must be a bit of a Git;-) . Nah I'm just jealous, as you always come across as a nice chap:^.

For a good alternate Jazz station on internet radio it's well worth checking out WWOZ New Orleans , as well as lots of really good Jazz fare (avoiding some of the "smooth jazz" type stuff played on Linn Radio & which I find a real turnoff t.b.h.), they also play loads of really cool Blues from early era stuff to present, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Dr. John all get good airtime as does real "grassroots" Louisiana type stuff:cool: but frankly to mention so few artists does the station a disservice.

The station is a U.S. public service broadcaster, so is devoid of the usual U.S. commercial station nastiness (not exclusive to U.S. commercial stations, I admit ,but you get my drift I'm sure.) There are public service/health/local events announcements but no commercial nasties.They also play a fair bit of vinyl & sometimes suffer from technical SNAFU's , which I find only adds to the charm, it harks back to the earlier days of radio I feel & this lack of glib slickness is actually wonderful in our Ersatz all too often over processed, neatly packaged world:cool:.
